Item details

Recently I found a box of miniature candy molds. This one is a duck wearing a bow around its neck and a small hat.It is stylized and adorable.It was manufactured by Horlein between 1960-1985.The base is: 1 5/8"L x 1"W. It is 2 3/8" tall.It is rated D2. See below for explanation.Made in Germany is stamped on it.It also is stamped 2633 and 14. See photo #5.This mold would be best used for a solid piece of chocolate.

The rating of chocolate molds: Page 60 in “Chocolate Moulds: A History and Encyclopedia” by Judene Divone copyright 1987Molds listed “R” are Rare: due to age, the small number produced, the use of multiple pieces, or are designs rarely found in this country.All other molds are rated by letter and number, from A-1 to D-4. The letter A is the highest rating, D the lowest; then further defined by the number. The ratings take into consideration the type of mold (common or unique), its age, the manufacturer (styling and detail), the subject matter, and the number produced.

All of the molds I sell have been used in a candy making business between 1955-1985.Signs of use are visible where the clips are put on and taken off around the sides.One to four clips will be included with the mold, depending on the size of the mold.
